Abstract :
A research effort is described to compute the 3-D shape parameters of biological objects observed through a stereoscope light microscope. An algorithm for computing global shape parameters from microscopic images is presented. Algorithms for computation of global shape parameters from images obtained through a stereo light microscope are developed and applied to characterize the shape parameters of small piece of potato slices when exposed to hyperosmotic sugar solutions
